The Night Was Electric...

Was about to go for a run earlier today, but dinner was ready (and it was roast beef and mashed potatoes). So... change in plans. Decided to run after dinner. During dinner it started storming quite a bit. Lots of lightning, rain and wind. We closed up all the windows and waited it out.

After dinner, I waited a bit and checked the weather. Looked like there would be a break between two lines of storms. Headed out about 8:30pm and was struck by the mugginess in the air. Not long into the run, I knew this was going to be "one of those runs you remember forever." Everywhere I looked, the sky was lighting up. Not just to the east like I thought it might (the storm having just passed), but every direction. There was no rain or thunder. Only light. The entire sky would just light up about every 15-20 seconds. Amazing. Off to the showers.

Oh, and it's raining again...
